My new R20 is only a couple of months old and I was surprised to see the paint flaking off the rear door hinges. Spoke with the Romahome Centre and they said it is common and the hinges are an alloy which doesn't take paint well. They offered to repaint but indicated it might just be as easy for me to Hammerite them and expect to have to do it again after a while.
I smothered them in Vaseline when it first happened just in case they were prone to rust (thanks to this forum a large jar of Vaseline is always to hand in the van). Must work out how to clean that off.
Anyone else experienced this and got any idea of the best solution? To be honest if they don't rust the best solution would seem to be to remove all the paint and shine 'em up.
